Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

This project is about building a new kind of Jerry can for water transport for rural areas that ease the pain for the person carrying the load with lower cost.

01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

The basic scientific concept for the development of this product is based on the fact that distributed force generates less pressure or impact than concentrated force. Instead of the standard shape of the 25 litter Jerry Can, Anteneh’s Jerry Can has torus shape with the same volume as the standard jerry can. For prototyping simplicity, the shape of torus is made square with center to center length of 66cm with pipe diameter of 11cm. At two opposite side of the pipes there are two attached lathers that are used to hold the Anetenh’s Jerry can on your shoulder. This will reduce the pressure of the water by distributing the weight of the water in 360 degrees comparing to the concentrated weight of standard jerry can and utilize all part of our body for support rather than using only spinal chord.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

In an area where there is lack of water supply at home, people travel very far to fetch water. In almost all society this task falls under the women. It is very common to see women carrying 25 and 20 liter Jerry Can on their back or on their head and travel many kilometers from the source like river, lake or well to their homes. Describing how challenging it is can only be achieved if you try it yourself but to give you an idea on the challenge, • the concentrated weight of the 25 litter jerry can which will force you to use only one or two part of your body for support which requires enormous amount of force to overcome the high pressure. • the distance they have to travel in a very rough terrain full of mountains, muddy ground during rain, sloppy ground, which is impossible even for a wheel aid transport. • the damage it makes on the spinal chord of the carrier from high pressure of the jerry can as well as the friction between spinal chord and bottom edge of the jerry can

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service fourni par votre startup (au moins 3).

This project does not completely solve their water need problem but it will ease their pain on the process of water fetching big time by providing a means to transport water with lower physical and mental energy expenditure, better comfort, better safety of physical health and lower cost. Lower physical and mental energy expenditure means the reduction in the amount of physical energy generation to overcome the concentrated weight which also leads to reduction in mental exhaustion because as the body gets tired so does the mind. Meaning imagine carrying x weight material on either left side or right side of your body. What will happen if you then carry x/2 weight of the same material on each side of your body? It will definitely add more stability because of the balance which leads to less effort to overcome the weight. This system will distribute not only on two side but also 360 degree equally.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adresse le produit/service de votre startup. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

According to reports some 2.2 billion people around the world do not have safely managed drinking water services, 1.1 billion people lack access to water and 2.7 billion experience water scarcity at least one month a year. By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may be facing water shortages and countries with the highest percentage of the population lacking basic access to water are in great risk. Therefore it is inevitable that people living in these zones will have to go to places where there is water source to fetch water. The location of the water is usually in places where there is no accessibility for wheel aid transportation and even if there is one the majority of the people do not afford it. So the peoples will have to use a Jerry Can to collect and transport the water just like they are doing to the current times.

Do you know that people in many part of the world travel many kilometers carrying water jerry can every day or few times a day to bring water for drinking, cooking, watering their plants and for many other reasons? One of the main reason for this problem is poverty and overcoming water issue is the base for overcoming poverty.

Water scarcity, which is broadly understood as the lack of access to adequate quantities of water for human and environmental uses, is considered to be one of the most important global risks for society. Global water demands are expected to increase in the future because of increasing populations, urbanization, and industrialization. In addition, aspects of climate change and anticipated increases in extreme weather events are expected to contribute to increases in the frequency, severity, and duration of droughts, which can exacerbate water availability problems. This lead to hunger and solving it will impact food supply.

The main problem of feting 25 litter water is the damage it makes on the spinal chord of the carrier from high pressure of the jerry can as well as the friction between spinal chord and bottom edge of the jerry can when they try to consistently adjust elevation of the jerry can on their back while carrying and transporting it.

Well, in the majority of homes that don't have clean water, it's women and girls who are responsible for collecting water. This can often take hours every day, as water is usually far from home. This burden means that there often isn't time for school or work, which holds back women from achieving their potential. When there's no clean water near home, at work or at school, it also makes managing periods difficult - leading to many girls missing school or women unable to work.

02.06.02 Justification de la contribution de ma startup

According to resources, there are more than 1 billion migrants in the world today and water deficits are linked to 10% of the rise in global migration. The World Bank’s released flagship publication “Ebb and Flow: Water, Migration, and Development” shows that it is a lack of water, rather than too much, that has a greater impact on migration. Water has always influenced where we live. Today, as climate change accelerates the global water crisis, the relentless increase in the movement of people around the world requires a considered response to turn crisis into opportunity. This project seizes this opportunity to solve one of the biggest challenges faced by water shortage which is manual water fetching using Jerry cans. The scope of the project is easing the manual water transport technique so that if water scarcity cannot be solved at least we minimize the pain of people who fetch water by travelling long distances.

06.08 Justification

It is not hard to see the level of innovation for this product because there is no similar product up to date and no one has ever thought of distributing the weight of jerry can to minimize its pressure impact on the body of the carrier. This design is very innovative in its core idea and approach to solve the problem.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

There has been some development to solve this problem and the only other solution the world has come up with is rolling jerry can that avoids carrying the water. This is great invention but there is no way people like in the video can utilize that because for one the obstacles of the rough landscape, the holes, stairs and the slops will not allow them especially in muddy ground during rainy season and it is just easy to carry the jerry can than rolling. The other reason is the price of the rolling jerry can. In Kenya the rolling jerry can is sold at 60 US dollars and in India 30 US dollars and if you convert it in to our currency it reaches more than 2000 and 1000 Ethiopian birr respectively. And rural communities are complaining the normal jerry cans are becoming expensive which is sold from 250 to 300 Ethiopian birr. This version of Anteneh Jerry Can cost 295 Ethiopian birr. This cost will be reduced once we start manufacturing the Anteneh’s Jerry Can using mold without any fitting
